Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 12, 2026

1. Overview

B-Roll Me ("the Software") is a desktop application. Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data the Software handles and how.

2. Data Storage

B-Roll Me stores all data locally on your computer in a SQLite database. This includes:

  • Your video scripts and project data
  • AI analysis results (moments, evaluations)
  • YouTube search results and cached transcripts
  • Your API keys (stored locally, never transmitted to us)
  • App settings and preferences

We do not operate servers that store your data. We do not have access to your local database.

3. Data Transmitted to Third Parties

When you use B-Roll Me, certain data is sent to third-party services as part of normal functionality:

  • AI Providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter): Your script text and search result data are sent to whichever AI provider you configure for analysis and evaluation. This data is transmitted directly from your computer to the provider's API using your API key. Refer to each provider's privacy policy for how they handle API data.
  • YouTube: Search queries and video IDs are sent to YouTube when searching for clips and fetching transcripts. This uses the InnerTube protocol.
  • Lemon Squeezy: License validation requests are sent to Lemon Squeezy. This includes your license key and basic device information for activation purposes.
  • Update Server: The app periodically checks for updates. This sends your current version number and platform to our update server.

4. What We Do Not Collect

  • We do not collect analytics or telemetry
  • We do not track your usage patterns
  • We do not collect your scripts, search queries, or downloaded content
  • We do not have access to your API keys
  • We do not sell or share any data with third parties

5. Website

The b-roll.me website is a static site. It does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics scripts. No personal information is collected through the website. Because we do not use cookies or tracking, no cookie consent banner is necessary.

6. API Key Security

Your API keys are stored in a local SQLite database on your computer. They are never transmitted to our servers. API calls are made directly from your machine to the respective provider's API endpoints.

7. Data Retention

Since all data is stored locally, you have full control over data retention. Deleting the app or its data directory removes all stored information. Individual projects can be deleted from within the app.

8. Children's Privacy

B-Roll Me is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
